Ramsey’s Nightmares will go on

British restaurateur and reality show star chef Gordon Ramsey has another season of nightmares ahead of him. Despite being in the only interesting time slot on Wednesdays - between Bionic Woman and Private Practice, as well as an aging Criminal Minds - Fox’s US version of Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares has increased its ratings share every week it has aired so far.

The show centers around Ramsey helping restaurant owners transform their once-great business back to their former glory after falling into a state of health-code-violating catastrophes. It’s like a Food Network program on steroids.

With its solid ratings performance, Kitchen Nightmares on Fox earned one of the earliest renewals of the infant new season; 10 more episodes for a second season were ordered this week by Fox. Ramsey is currently busy filming the next season of Hell’s Kitchen, his other Fox ratings-grabber.

As well as things are going for chef Ramsey on television, it’s a wonder he has time to still be a chef and run his restaurants, although he can definitely afford Girard Perregaux wristwatches.

No word on scheduling yet. But not renewing the well-performing show would have been the idiocy on this one. Fortunately, Fox doesn’t ALWAYS cancel EVERY good series.

Just most of them.
